Anti-retroviral therapy trials are expected to begin in Denmark before the end of the year, with a drug that could prove to be a long-awaited cure for the AIDS virus.
The results of preliminary laboratory tests carried out by two teams of Australian scientists in collaboration with their colleagues from Denmark are encouraging about the hope of finding a cure.
An Australian study clearly shows that the Oncologic drug venetoclax has the ability to detect "cells" in the human body that are adversely affected by the virus.
Next year, in addition to Denmark, trials of the drug will also begin in Melbourne, Australia.
Meanwhile, pills with the trade name VENCLEXTA were originally developed to fight blood cancer.
It was approved in the United States in 2016 and since then, according to doctors, it has already helped thousands of cancer patients.
There are currently around 40 million people living with HIV in the world.
Examination and finally the use of drugs to reduce the severity of the disease makes it possible to prevent the spread of the HIV virus, which prevents the damage of the victim's immune system immediately.
When a person uses drugs regularly, the victim also leaves them a danger to his loved ones - but he is completely safe.
When you stop taking the medicine every day, the severity of the disease returns.

FBI Director James Comey revealed a new review of recently-discovered emails related to the FBI's previously-closed investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private server.

“I must be out of my mind to be following Bob Mueller,’’ Comey said in the 2013 White House Rose Garden ceremony. "I don't know if I can fill those shoes, but I know that, however I do, I will be standing truly on the shoulders of a giant." Indeed, Mueller’s tenure was widely credited with the post-9/11 transformation of the FBI from a largely reactive law enforcement institution to an intelligence-driven agency bent on preventing new terror strikes. And he did it by shunning the spotlight at virtually every opportunity. By contrast, Comey, 55, has staked out a public profile that couldn’t be more different than his predecessor and the traditional confines of the office itself. He has bluntly acknowledged law enforcement’s fraught relationship with racial and ethnic communities in addresses at Georgetown University and Birmingham, Ala.,and has suggested that less-aggressive policing may be contributing to troubling spikes in violent crime in some parts ...

Kenya received sh198 million as treasure refund for troops fighting Al-shabaab from European union

The Europe Union has released Sh198 million to the Treasury as refund for Kenyan troops fighting Al-Shabaab militants in Somalia after a seven-month delay attributed to a verification hitch. Treasury documents show that Kenya received the money in September with the last refund coming in February in a reimbursement that is meant to happen quarterly. Kenya received Sh4.2 billion from the UN in the first seven months of last financial year against a claim of Sh6.4 billion, meaning the country is owed Sh2.2 billion. It expects to receive Sh6.4 billion in the year to June 2017. The Treasury did not explain the delay, but earlier reports in the BBC indicated that payments for the 22,000-strong African Union force (Amisom) were being withheld over “accounting issues”. Nearly 4,000 Kenyan soldiers are part of Amisom and the international community provides $1,028 (Sh103, 828) for each Amisom soldier each month; their respective governments then deduct about $200 (Sh20,200) for ...

Clinton aide cried foul on Obama's email denial

The directive from Cheryl Mills, one of the Democratic presidential nominee’s most trusted aides, was revealed Tuesday in the newest batch of Campaign Chairman John Podesta’s emails posted by anti-secrecy site WikiLeaks. It is one of several showing how Clinton's inner circle scrambled to correct the record after Obama's initial remarks. The hacked Mills message stems from a discussion on March 7, 2015, the night Obama told CBS News he found out about Clinton’s email system "the same time everybody else learned it through news reports." “We need to clean this up – he has emails from her – they do not say state.gov,” Mills wrote to Podesta just before midnight. TOP ADVISER ON CLINTON WALL STREET SPEECHES: 'IT'S PRETTY BAD' The next day, Clinton Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri also confirmed that Obama was aware of Clinton’s personal account, during a discussion with senior Clinton adviser Philippe Reines on how to handle the president’s remar...
